Our Traditions
Starting March 20, 2023, we will welcome spring and Nowruz, which is the celebration of the Iranian New Year. This year we want to take a moment to thank and celebrate the women who empower us every day – Woman, Life, Freedom.

Peyvand Youth Empowerment Program (YEP) seeks to create a virtual and in-person safe, supportive, community of diverse youth. We offer programs that support personal growth, community building creative self-expression, and civic engagement.
In addition to language courses in Persian, Dari and Kurdish, Peyvand collaborates with University of Washington Middle Eastern Languages and Civilizations to promote scholarship and thoughtful public discourse about all aspects of Middle East history and culture.
We support families by providing parenting workshops, presentations from school faculty and counselors, and opportunities for networking and community building through cultural events and activities.
